A world famous boy's boarding school in Winchester is set to be transformed in a multi-million pound project.

Kier has been appointed to deliver the project for Winchester College, working with its local supply chain to construct the new facility.

This will see a new state of the art 7,314m2 sports hub built, featuring three interconnected buildings housing a 1,400m2 multi-functional sports hall and viewing gallery, a 25m x 13m six lane swimming pool, a seven-booth rifle range as well as squash and fives courts.

The project will also include a new layout of the school's design and technology department.
